Oak ‘Burn’ Dark Wood Furniture

Oak is usually associated with a soft surface and traditional design styles, so 4 Living’s oak ‘Burn’ range really throws a contemporary spanner in the works. This richer and darker tone of oak is achieved by steaming the oak under a high temperature. The steaming process doesn’t act like a stain however. The rich and nourished tone is present right the way through the wood, even after any sanding down.

The ‘Burn’ dark wood Dresser is available with three or four glazed doors and cupboards. The bottom section of the piece is a contemporary and clean row of steamed dark oak cupboards with a slim groove down each side as a handle. The bottom portion of the dresser stick out slightly, which allows for more cupboard space. The storage provided in this piece is really excellent, whether you go for the three or four drawer option.

If your living room needs that extra contemporary touch, whilst maintaining functionality, then the ‘Burn’ TV table will fit nicely. The dark wood TV table has a relatively low profile and has a great amount of storage space including a stylish flip-down drawer for a digital box and DVD player and a spacious cupboard for DVD’s etc. The design is nice and simple, angular and smooth. The drawer and cupboard are separated by an off-centre divide, which provides a really stylish contemporary touch.

Teak Dark Wood Furniture

Teak is the perfect ‘halfway house’ between the softness of solid oak and the deep tone of dark walnut, as well as having its own fantastic properties. Teak is often used for outdoor furniture; this is because of its incredible density and resilience (natural oils prevent a lot of staining). This resilience means teak is the perfect material for functional and stylish dark wood furniture.

The ‘LF’ teak range is a great example of this perfect balance between functionality and style- The ‘LF’ dresser is somewhere in between a sideboard, dresser and bookcase and provides an incredibly balanced storage solution. Small details, such as the slim bronze handles or rectangular legs, make the piece a beautiful contemporary addition to any living room, kitchen, dining room, office or even bedroom. Versatility.

If you are looking to really show off the rugged dark grain of the teak, then the ‘Pure’ sideboard is the perfect addition to your home. Available in three sizes, the pure sideboard features a sliding storage cupboard door and large panels which really show off dark wood grain.
